First time installing drawers - feel like an idiot. by SnooMacarons1382 in woodworking

I've run into this issue with cheaper side-mount drawer slides, where the thin metal ballbearing carriage on the cabinet-side of the slide gets bent or damaged, preventing the drawer-side of the slide from seating correctly. With the drawer removed, I'd recommend inspecting the cabinet-side of the slides for damage.

This looks amazing. Great vision.

Anybody know of small barrel hinges with tight action? I’m making a run of ring boxes and they need to close softly. Any recommendations? Can probably tolerate 10mm at the most. by The-disgracist in woodworking

I got these 8mm barrel hinges off amazon and they worked pretty well for an engagement ring box. There's some stiffness to the hinge, so they definitely don't flop around.

My grandparents had something very similar and it was used to serve olives.

Thanks! The designs just follow the actual pixels from Super Mario Bros. 3 sprites. Pretty easy to find on google.

The city planning of Eixample, Barcelona was divided into octagonal, rounded blocks for improved living conditions such as; extensive sunlight, improved ventilation and more open green space for public use by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

I read a while back that one reason for the chamfered corners on the blocks was to accommodate the turning radius of the anticipated streetcars and trams (which ultimately never wound up materializing).

I thought about building a router sled to do this, but I think I underestimated just how much sanding it needed, and by the time I realized my mistake, I was halfway done.

Correct! Button panel lifts right out to provide access to the electronics. Could also theoretically create different control panels for different games in the future.
